Please join us at National City Christian Church this Friday, May 17, at 12:15 p.m., for our free weekly Music at Midday recital. We are delighted to be welcoming organist and composer Carson Cooman, who will perform a program of recent organ music by composers from four different nations:
- Canzona on the Seikilos Epitaph – Karen Beaumont (U.S.)
- Allori sulla Tomba di Dante, Op. 120 – Philippos Tsalahouris (Greece)
- Beata Beatrix – Carlotta Ferrari (Italy – world premiere)
- Toccata No. 9 – Thomas Åberg (Sweden)
Carson Cooman holds degrees in music from Harvard University and Carnegie Mellon University and since 2006 has held the position of Composer in Residence at the Memorial Church, Harvard University. As an organ recitalist, Cooman specializes in the performance of contemporary music. Over 300 new compositions by more than 100 international composers have been written for him.
